Vivendi selling its shares in ActiVision for $8.1 billion

Post by MusicallyInspired » Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:36 am

Saw this this morning and thought it was very interesting. I like this quote: "Let's think about this for a moment: The world's biggest publisher, with the world's most valuable game property, is a liability."

Also this is what I've been expecting for a long time now. And I hope it happens. Leave the industry to indie developers....and Valve.

Personally I agree, I am getting tired of the Hyperviolence and Gore being the only selling points for video games. Back when it was only Mortal Kombat, it was fine, now that everything has to be about hyperviolence and gore, video games as a whole are starting to grow stale. Probably why I stick with retro gaming.

I didn't reply because I didn't have anything to add. It is what it is.

I guess that I have replied to the subject in other forums and most here would have probably already seen my posts.
